Hi Guys,
I bought a generic UBlox 6M /Mag combo & am trying to get it running correctly on my APM2.6.
I hooked it up with FTDI cable and UCentre. When I set it to 9600baud I started to find satellites.
I checked WiKi & found reference to 3DR-UBLOX.txt

I need to use my Y6 (APM 2.6; AC 3.1.5) for surveying and need to be able to automate missions, but today my auto mission didn't complete and RTL failed - it was as though the flight mode changed to loiter and ignored RTL signals. I've spent

I was using Cannon S100 previously for mapping purpose with CHDK, 1/2000 shutter speed, IS turned off and focus set to Infinity but still get around 50% blurry image.
Now I will use Sony Nex 5n camera on Flatmap1 gimbal with 16mm stock fixed

I'm currently working on a project which would consist into using reflective plates on the ground to perform precision landings. A photoelectric emitter/receptor would be featured on board using an Arduino system to turn it on and off connected to

Long story short, I've been going through a few Graupner voltage telemetry sensors so it was suggested that my voltage regulator may be causing the faults so I went about swapping them over and retaining my existing vr for redundancy (proposed to

Been lurking for a few years with not much to add, but thought I might share my latest build with you. It is (yet another) folding quad, but in X8 configuration, with a few of my own ideas. This is the 4th copter I've built (all running AC c

So, I have a Spektrum DX7 radio talking to a Spektrum satellite receiver, which is plugged directly into my Pixhawk. How can I get MinimOSD's RSSI field to show me how well the DX7's signal is being recieved? I see the field, but it h

Does anybody have more experience with it?

I have Favourite Sky III 30AX4 4 in 1 ESC. I'm calibrating the ESC like this;
1. I put radio on, I set full throttle
2. I power up Pixhawk and wait for musical startup tone of Pixhawk and then disconnect the battery
3. I reconnect battery and I hear

I currently use the new Terrain function in ArduPlane a lot. However most of the time I'm not connected over MavLink to my laptop and fly FPV around. Now to get the terrain data you either have to be connected to MissonPlaner or upload a mission wi
